Slo-Niacin 500 mg Tablets, Pack of 3 x 100 Tablets

Timed Release vs. Immediate Release

Niacin supplements come in different forms, and how they release in your body can significantly affect your experience. Standard immediate-release niacin is absorbed rapidly, often triggering a noticeable flush—a temporary sensation of warmth and redness caused by vasodilation. Slo-Niacin employs a patented timed-release system that delivers 500 mg of nicotinic acid gradually, reducing the intensity and frequency of flushing. This makes it easier to stick to a daily routine, whilst some users may still experience a mild flush when first starting.

What Is Slo-Niacin?

If you're seeking a consistent supply of vitamin B3, Slo-Niacin offers a reliable solution. Each tablet contains 500 mg of nicotinic acid, the form of niacin known for its role in energy metabolism. The timed-release design ensures a steady release throughout the day, helping to minimise the uncomfortable flush often associated with standard niacin. This pack includes three bottles of 100 tablets each, providing a convenient 300-tablet supply for long-term uses.

Health Benefits of Niacin

Niacin plays an essential role in the body's energy metabolism, contributing to the conversion of food into usable energy. According to EFSA-approved health claims, niacin also contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes and normal psychological function. These benefits support overall wellbeing.

Recommended Dosage and Usage

Typical dosage for niacin starts low and builds up gradually to allow your body to adjust. Slo-Niacin 500 mg tablets are intended for adults who have already established tolerance. As a general guideline, take one tablet daily with a meal to reduce stomach upset and minimise flushing. Do not exceed the recommended dose without medical supervision, as high niacin intake can affect liver function. If you have liver disease, diabetes, or are taking other medications, consult your doctor before uses.

Potential Side Effects and Considerations

The most common side effect of niacin is flushing, which may include warmth, itching, or redness. Taking the tablet with food or using a timed-release formula like Slo-Niacin can help. Other possible side effects include stomach upset, dizziness, or changes in liver enzymes. If you experience persistent flushing, severe stomach pain, or yellowing of the skin, discontinue uses and seek medical advice. Store the product in a cool, dry place and keep it out of reach of children.
